If it looks alright and smells alright and has no green overcoat on then we eat it....

Thats ok but without sell buy dates shops would be able to sell anything and you would not find out if it was ok till you got it home

Re: Sell by date

Of course you are right to a degree Neil, but I remember the days before 'sell by' dates and we survived.
And if you bought something that was 'off' you'd take it back and get a replacement.

I try, where possible to buy fresh foods, and if I can buy stuff without it being sheathed in plastic, then I do...though sometimes it is hard....everything seems to come in a tough plastic overcoat these days.

The CHICKENS are in a pen. The chicks are still too young to go outdoors and are still living with heat lamps. They'll also go in a pen.

The University allocated us a garden at the end of the rugby field and the pen runs next to it. We grow tomatoes, carrots, garlic, onions, potatoes, leeks, strawberries, pumpkins, raddishs... loads of things. It's a very satisfying way of living.

Re: Sell by date

Its the wrapped in plastic food that is impossible to sniff until your break into it. Places like Asda/Tesco would be the problem with no sell by dates
